However, after his defeat, Kami revives Shenron to reward Goku for his valiant efforts against King Piccolo.Īfter Dende's remodeling, if a person only needed one wish, then the Dragon Balls would scatter around the world in the same way as if someone had spoken both wishes. In the King Piccolo Saga, after King Piccolo uses the Dragon Balls to regain his youth, he murders Shenron before he can disperse to prevent anyone else from using the Dragon Balls against him. This is used to revive the victims of many villains, such as King Piccolo and his men, Frieza and his men, and Cell. Shenron can wish back more than one person per wish, provided that they (1) died less than a year ago, (2) died under a common circumstance, and (3) haven't already been wished back before. Unlike Porunga, Shenron can only grant one wish per summoning, until Dende upgrades him to grant 2 wishes. The Shenron of the Black Star Dragon Balls is red, opposed to the Shenron of Earth who is green. The Earth Dragon Balls are relatively small, each about the size of a large orange. The Dragon Balls cannot be used for one year after a wish is made, as they turn to stone. According to Goku, Shenron cannot (or will not) grant the same wish more than once.

Unlike the Western dragons, which have large dorsal foldable wings on their backs, he has none. He is an Eastern dragon, whose kind are benevolent and sacred in Oriental mythologies. Shenron is shown with the horns of a stag, sharp teeth, green scaly skin, red eyes, four toes on each foot, a long serpentine body (his tail takes up three-fourths of his length), long flowing whiskers, a long snout, crescent shaped nostrils, and flowing green hair on his cheeks.
